I judged the deerhound match for the Northern California Deerhound Club on Saturday - it's the first time I judged, and I found it challenging and interesting.
I think the hardest thing for me was clearing my mind of what I "knew" about the individual dogs or their lines, and just looking at the dog as he or she stood and moved in front of me that day. In a breed with such small numbers as ours, it's very hard to not know almost everyone and their dogs.
Thanks to the club for inviting me, and everyone who showed to me.
So who won??? And were the costumes great? Expatriates want to know:-)

Plus, thanks for the pet food blogging over at Pet Connection.

Wow!!
You can start your own television show now, "Judge Christie"! I'm glad you had a great time, and I bet you were a great judge.
